From Inspiration to Reality: The Board
I don’t think that I’ve ever been more excited to write a feature than I am today. It’s basically my favorite day EVER on Style Me Pretty. Why, you might ask?
Well…you all might remember the Inspiration Board contest where we asked readers to design a board based on a wedding style that they would like to see come to life. We had some of the most amazing entries you’ve ever seen but managed to choose our very favorite board….a 50’s inspired style with girly, super flirty details. Designed by the FABULOUS Bran coprata over on the Style Circle, this board was perfection.

So coming up today, we are going to share the photos from the shoot that we did, literally bringing this inspiration board to life! The day definitely exceeded all of our expectations and we ended up with a wedding style that just about anyone could do no matter what budget they are working with! Stay tuned.
Where are those pink shoes from!? They're exactly what I'm looking for.
Yup, this was definitely one of my absolute favorites!!
This is great - what an exciting feature! I think it would be awesome if you continued with this periodically!
So excited to see the photos! I love this inspiration board. Nicole Hill Gerulat's photos were from a wedding dinner in SLC that we actually featured a couple issues ago—it was one of my all-time favorite features and I can't wait to see the fun retro style reinterpreted!
This is an awesome collection! I love most of these photos!
If real, the shoes are Christian Louboutin, and the style is either "Decollete" or "Ron Ron" ... love this inspiration! An interesting palette I wouldn't have considered, but wow!
